How to Mix an Exploding Drink
I'm usually not one for pranks, but this one seems kinda fun and not something that could potentially damage the prankee for life. In the June issue of Wired Magazine, Daniel Dumas provides a recipe for the Manhattan Project, a drink that will overspill the sides of the glass within five minutes of being poured. As you might expect, there's something that needs to react in the drink to make it effectively erupt. In this case, the prankster needs to use Diet Coke and rum for the base of the drink and freeze mint-flavored Mentos into the ice cubes. Obviously, when the ice melts, the candy and cola will mix and all hell will break loose.
No word on whether or not it all tastes good post-explosion, though. You'll just have to try it for yourselves.
Would you play an exploding drink prank on your friends?

Sounds like a fun prank, but I don't know many people who would want to drink Diet Coke and rum. Rum and Coke is fine... but Diet Coke... not so sure.
@fLiPgUy31O@xanga - as if anyone cares what's in their glass after a few drinks hahahaa
@fLiPgUy31O@xanga - coke works too.
@testubebaby@xanga - Hm, good point. haha
@B2yan_C@xanga - Coke works with the Mentos too? Didn't know that.
haha i would
@fLiPgUy31O@xanga - anything with carbonation. it's the carbon dioxide that reacts for the most part. diet coke is commonly used because it's not as popular as coke.
lol why not? cx
*notes for later reference*
@B2yan_C@xanga - I see. That's good to know. I heard Coke doesn't work as well as Diet Coke because it lacks aspartame.
diet coke is disgusting. i bet those guys were covered in nasty diet coke sticky for a while. yuck.
@fLiPgUy31O@xanga - dunno about the aspartame, but i'm sure the mess coke will make is more than enough. :P
Haha, awesome
@B2yan_C@xanga - lol true.
Wow, so clever! I think I would feel too bad if I did that to someone with that, but awesome idea!
i wanna try that now ^_^
How I wish I could try but most of my friends are females..they'll flip!
Hell yeah I would.
@fLiPgUy31O@xanga - that's how i drink my mixed drinks! always diet coke lol.....i also do vodka and sugar freered bull....i'd be fairly pissed at you for wasting my drink that way though! haha
@GaMeGurLsH@xanga - under the right circumstances i may find it slightly amusing....i'd be more upset that you made me waste my drink than the mess. haha
The answer is undoubtedly yes. But I figure people would get mad at me for doing it. haha.

@blue_dragonfly420@xanga - I don't think I'd pull this prank on someone if their drink had alcohol. I don't like wasting alcohol. If you were just drinking Diet Coke... then MAYBE I would. =P
@fLiPgUy31O@xanga - haha. i don't like wasting alcohol either. in my diet coke, it would depend on where/when/and what kind of day i was having/what i was wearing. more than likely i'd find it amusing unless we were some place i could not change. lol
